Of course she knew what Shen Xiao was doing. Sheng Ze had told her before that Shen Xiao would be responsible for the research and development of gunpowder. This was a secret. Shen Xiao would naturally not tell Xiao Lin.
"Alas," Mrs. Xiao Lin sighed, "I know that I can't interfere with his affairs outside, but if it goes on like this, it will be too harmful to the body. If the foundation is damaged, it will never be repaired in the future."
Shen Qingqian didn't speak again, not because she didn't want to say it, but because she knew that the Shen family's bodies were nourished by divine spring water, so even if they were tired in a short period of time, nothing would happen. However, it was hard to tell Xiao Lin about this.
At this time, Shen Qingning's voice sounded outside the kitchen, "Sister-in-law, sixth sister, eldest brother and third brother Cheng are back, let's make some more dishes!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she ran in from outside with a vegetable basket, "Quick, get rid of these peppers first. Big brother and Chengyun like to eat this the most."
Ling Yun had returned from Chenzhou long ago.
Shen Qingqian glanced at the green peppers in the vegetable basket and felt a little distressed, "Fifth sister, these are not grown yet. They should be picked in two days."
"Oh, I know. Didn't you see Brother Cheng San and the others coming? We don't have anything to entertain at home, so this is the only fresh food. But don't worry, I dried a lot of chili peppers two days ago. Tomorrow Just plant it."
Shen Qingning smiled and said while handling the dishes in her hands.
The Shen family's kitchen is now managed by Shen Qingning, and the vegetable plot is also handed over to her.
Not to mention, for foodies, the vegetables grown by oneself can actually taste more delicious, so Shen Qingning is particularly concerned about growing vegetables.
It was just that it was difficult for a little girl to take care of such a large field, so Wu asked Shen Qingman to help her. The two sisters took care of the vegetable field in a decent way. During the war, they all paid off. I took the food once and sold it to Yunzhongxian Restaurant.
When she said this, Shen Qingqian stopped saying anything and thought about why Shengze and the others came back suddenly.
You know, the Northern Hubei Army is now tight on the outside and tight on the inside. Any general is extremely busy, let alone the soldiers below.
There was no other reason. After King Zhao's army retreated, Liang Cheng convened a half-day meeting and implemented everything Shen Qingqian and Sheng Ze said before.
Everything is difficult at the beginning. For a group of people who have never been in contact with the business, suddenly they are asked to deal with businessmen, and they will be very upset.
However, development is the last word. If Liang Cheng can spread the matter, it means that more people will join the game, which will also help Northern Hubei escape from the control of the imperial court.
These things haven't happened to Shen Qingqian yet, but she estimates that it won't be long before she gets busy.
With Shen Qingning joining in, the meal was quickly prepared, but just before the meal started, another uninvited guest came.
"Brother Shen, long time no see, sorry to bother you." Li Hezhou bowed to Shen Xiao with a smile on his face.
Wu and others were all confused as to why he suddenly visited.
Shen Xiao invited the person into the room and asked him to sit next to Sheng Ze, "Young Master Li will take care of you if you have a simple meal."
Li Hezhou looked at the dishes on the table, feeling surprised in his heart, but it didn't show on his face. He was still smiling, "I was the one who was rude. I came here without saying hello. Don't be surprised by Auntie and Brother Shen."
Wu even said it was okay.
With Li Hezhou around, it was difficult for the female members of the Shen family to sit at the big table. Shen Qingman led Shen Qingxiao and the others to rearrange the food, and the Wu family, Liang family, and Lin family took Shen Qingqian and others to the living room of the second room to sit down.
After dinner, Li Hezhou explained his purpose.
"Brother Shen, I heard that the Northern Hubei Army is looking for someone to form a caravan to and from Northern Hubei and outside the customs. Is this news true?"
